🔎 A review of #maritime transport trends published on “Sea News”* highlights an interesting trend in the industry: larger and larger cargo ships are being built around the world. 🔷 According to the review, large #ships starting from 15,000 TEU are expected to make up more than 65% of the expansion of the world's #marine transport fleets in the next two years. The 10 largest companies in the industry have ordered 440 new ships, most of which will be larger than the ships they are planned to replace. ⚓ Larger ships, that carry more #cargo, help optimize the import and export system, cut transport costs, and leave a smaller footprint on the environment (per container). 🔷 The Israeli Ministry of Transport and the Israel Ports Company have invested large resources in recent years in opening new ports in Ashdod and Haifa - capable of receiving huge ships. ⭐ This week, the mega container ship #MSC Nicola Mastro, docked at South Port in Ashdod. The ship, which can carry 24,000 containers on board, arrived on a direct voyage from King Abdullah Port in Saudi Arabia, through the Suez Canal. This is a new ship launched this year, 400 meters long (like 4 soccer fields) and 61.5 meters wide.   * https://lnkd.in/gQmg4CmE

Did You Know? Ancient Egyptians were among the pioneers of maritime trade, utilizing the Nile River as a vital artery for transporting goods such as timber, ivory, and precious stones. They developed robust wooden cargo ships crafted from local acacia and imported cedar, which played a crucial role in Egypt's economic prosperity and cultural expansion. These ships were equipped with sails strategically positioned to harness the wind, enabling efficient navigation against the Nile's currents. The ancient Egyptians' maritime prowess extended beyond the Nile, as their cargo ships ventured into the Mediterranean Sea, facilitating trade with neighboring civilizations. These voyages were not merely commercial endeavors but also contributed to cultural exchange and diplomatic relations, solidifying Egypt's status as a dominant regional power during antiquity. At Ruswal Global, we continue to honor this legacy of maritime excellence. Since 2014, specializing in cargo and marine inspections, we ensure the safe and compliant transport of goods worldwide.

What is the historical homeland of the Arabs? According to historical records, the Arab people and Arab culture have their origins in the Arabian Peninsula, which is located in Western Asia. The Arabian Peninsula is the birthplace and ancestral homeland of the Arab ethnic group. The Arabian Peninsula is a vast geographical region that encompasses modern-day countries such as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait. This region has been the center of Arab civilization and culture for centuries. The Arabs are an ethnic group whose origins can be traced back to ancient tribes and civilizations that inhabited the Arabian Peninsula. The Arabic language, which is the primary language spoken by Arabs, also originated in this region. Over the course of history, the Arab people and their culture have spread beyond the Arabian Peninsula, with significant Arab populations and influence in North Africa, the Levant, and other parts of the Middle East. However, the Arabian Peninsula remains the recognized heartland and birthplace of the Arab world. #timetostandupforisrael
